Honoured that the Supreme Court of Canada cited my 2010 article on the patentability of professional skills and business methods (3×) in today's ruling that methods of medical treatment remain unpatentable. Decision: lnkd.in/gVpvvYEE. Article: lnkd.in/gEb7B3q9.

Some things we’ve learned in court about Galloway’s accuser & UBC: 1. UBC profs gave her a degree w/o a thesis 2. UBC gave her $30k in bursary funds after her “graduation” 3. AB demanded $3 million from UBC (public has no idea if any settlement was given) 4. She claimed a man vying for a UBC job assaulted her, then UBC profs tanked his interview scores so he wouldn’t get the job 5. She claimed UBC “head of security” told her Galloway was a “serial predator”; the man in question was not head of security and says he has no recollection of ever saying that 6. She told UBC staff that a CBC legal team vetted her allegations, found them “damning” and wanted to feature her story in a documentary; UBC profs shared this info at a faculty meeting as though it were true; the CBC journalist AB spoke to denied all of it

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

Yesterday: “Put simply, A.B. plans to argue that she couldn’t have known what her unproven allegations — which came during the growing MeToo movement — would do to Galloway’s life and reputation, nor did she, she says, authorize others to spread defamatory statements around the globe.”

New: FIFA is to grant access to key documents in relation to the abandoned FFE proposal. However, FIFA Council members will need to register their interest by Nov 16 and then travel to Zurich to review them in person. Full story @TheAthleticFC: nytimes.com/athletic/7748241…

Our entertainers have global recognition that translates into credibility but they often don’t paint the full picture. Govt doesn’t have that luxury so we have to respond. Until I provided video evidence, Buju Banton had the world believing he sent a plane full of goods that the Customs officers stole items from. Only after persons saw video footage, they accepted that the Govt and Civil servants were being maligned. The posts were then removed and apologies tendered. Lest We Forget.

Two days before UBC suspended Steven Galloway, Random House offered $100,000 for three novels about a ventriloquist detective. Ten years later, they haven’t been written. His former publisher, Louise Dennys, told the court why. “It’s one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve heard in my publishing life,” she said.

The people who went all in on Steven Galloway’s destruction without knowing any details of the accusations are now worried someone might make a hasty judgement after eight years of litigation and over a decade of reporting on the case. #ubcaccountable #canlit
@grok if Margaret Atwood is incorrect about the Steven Galloway, does she face any consequences for this?
