ERRATA: I normally pin my errata at the top of the comments, where it is easy for alert readers to locate. (Note that, notwithstanding the occasional corrections, C&C maintains a 99.6% accuracy rate, which compares favorably to corporate media, whose rate is down somewhere in the 30’s.) But this correction deserved more prominent placement. Yesterday I unfortunately identified Dr. Karen “Karen” Pinder as a professor at the University of Cape Town who, before deleting her account, lamented that if Trump had been killed it would have been ‘glorious.’

But alert Cape Town readers were understandably annoyed, since Dr. Pinder actually infests the University of British Columbia in Vancouver:

The confusion arose because Karen got her Phd at Cape Town. She also did her post-doc at Johns Hopkins (unsurprisingly). Anyway, since you can no longer reach Karen on her now-deleted social media accounts, Karen’s email is karen.pinder@ubc.ca, and her number is (604) 822-1797. If you need those for any reason.

I apologize to Cape Towners for accidentally besmirching your city’s reputation. Hopefully, this cleared things up. I blame Karen.

I just called ….unfortunately karen’s mailbox is full
