Thumbnail image for Post Ranier – a zolabyte

A reader of this blog was inspired to write an essay-like comment after the post entitled “Your politics are ruining my country (and its future)“. I’ve decided to put it up as a Zolabyte in the hope that it provokes more conversation. Philip Serracino Inglott (currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Technology at [...]

There’s always a first time

16.05.2011

Lady Chatterley started blogging on The Malta Chronicle. She’s got some points to set straight about marriage and blogging… not in that particular order. I wonder whether the same rules apply here and whether I should wait till I’m married before I start blogging.  Well, that may never happen, which would be a real waste. [...]

Dars, Pogguti u Bghula

05.05.2011

Mark Vella (formerly of Xifer… il-blogg mit-truf) was provoked into writing this post in reaction to the “Pogguti” billboard: Jacques talabni nikteb, imma għidtlu li mhux interessat u li kull ma rrid nitfa’ l-vot u nitħalla bil-kwiet. Forsi dan kull ma jrid min biħsiebu jivvota IVA, wara kollox: jitħalla jgħix ħajtu kif irid hu, fil-limiti [...]

The Absurdity of Football Time

13.04.2011

Football fan Patrick Galea penned this piece as a facebook note. It could very well have been entitled “the Theory of Relativity as Applied to The Game”. He has kindly agreed for it to be reproduced here as a sporty/geeky Zolabyte. Cheers. (and Forza Juve of course) It is not a secret to football fans [...]

A Zolabyte with a difference. A friend of mine has asked me to plug this event that is raising money to build a project to provide food in an area of Guatemala. It’s a long, long walk for a good cause. There’s all the contact details you need at the end of this post. Picture [...]

The Media and Egypt

06.02.2011

ONE NEWS REPORTER Anthony David Gatt wrote this as a facebook note. J’accuse is posting it as a zolabyte with the author’s kind permission. It is his take on how the media – local and foreign – has dealt with the Egyptian uprising. As Anthony says, this note is a look at what is happening [...]

Honoraria : What lies beneath?

21.01.2011

Fausto Majistral is back with another Zolabyte. He gives us a no-nonsense analysis of the main issues that surround the whole ruckus about honoraria. It’s less about the politics and more about the constitutional issues. Service as an MP in the Maltese House of Representatives is a part-time affair. “Part-time” is a misnomer, of course, [...]

2010 – The Fausto Perspective (Part II)

21.12.2010

Fausto continues his round-up of 2010. This time Jesus, vuvuzela and public services fall within range of his targeting. JESUS IN THE CLASSROOM Two millenia on and he’s still a source of controversy. The EHCR decided that rights were violated when Italian authorities refused to remove the crucifix from the classroom at the request of [...]

On Lack of Politics at the UOM

07.10.2010

J’accuse was shocked by a headline in the Times on the 5th of October claiming that a “Students’ body wants student’s council to be free of politics” so we decided to ask somebody from that movement – Mark Camilleri (known to most extra-uni people as the Realtà editor) to explain whether this impression of wanting [...]
