Something Like a Bird

Something Like a Bird is an album by Charles Mingus, released on the Atlantic label in 1981.[3] The album reached a peak position of number 37 on the Billboard's Jazz Albums chart.[4] Mingus is featured as composer and director but does not actually play on this album as his ALS had progressed to the point where he was no longer able to do so. These were the last sessions of his own music he ever participated in, although he did attend one session for the partial collaboration with Joni Mitchell, Mingus before his death in January 1979.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: My public IP works fine for me on my network. IPv4 and v6.
gollark: Presumably the idea is to just remove/backdoor the encryption stuff which is easily used and accessible to consumers (encrypted messaging, full disk encryption on phones), which is not going to stop anyone who is doing evilness but will definitely allow widespread surveillance on most people.
gollark: They obviously can't actually stop people from using encryption in general. Encryption is very widely distributed maths and code. Even if all the code ceased to exist you could reconstruct working stuff from even just the Wikipedia pages.
gollark: And the many times the UK and other places have insisted that end to end encryption is bad because something something terrorism think of the children everything will be awful if we can't spy on all messages ever.
