Saturday Links

On a cold Saturday, here are some things going on:

From CNN, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) officially launches her 2020 presidential campaign.  (Please refrain from inserting "Fauxcahontas" or "Lie-awatha" jokes.  Those are unfair - to the real Pocahontas and Hiawatha.)






From The Conservative Woman, the U.K. has its own statue controversy.


From the Evening Standard, Prince Philip turns in his driving license.

From BBC News, a no-deal Brexit contract between the U.K. government and an Irish ferry company without any ships has been scrapped.  (Isn't a ferry company with no ships analogous to an airline with no planes, a taxi company with no cars, or a railroad with no trains?)










From Sputnik International, Russia reportedly plans to put someone on the moon in 2031.  (If they accomplish this, will they, too, have to deal with moon landing hoaxers?)









From the Egypt Independent, Egypt reopens the Rafah border crossing.






And from Variety, documentaries about the Bee Gees and the Go-Go's are "in the works".

UPDATE:  I found one more.  (H/T Sue from N.M. for the Tweet)  From the Daily Mail, if you're the Saudi male guardian of a woman, there's an app for that.
