“The Pink Panther imitates nothing, it reproduces nothing, it paints the world its color, pink on pink; this is its becoming-world, carried out in such a way that it becomes imperceptible itself, asignifying, makes its rupture, its own line of flight, follows its ‘aparallel evolution’ through to the end.”

Fast and effective relief for headaches, stuffy nose, insect bites, itchiness, muscular aches and pains, sprains and flatulence. Apply Tiger Balms gently on the affected area. Store in a cool and dry place. Fore external use only. Keep out of reach of children.

so mainstream history is in the process of being revised so that nixon is no longer the archetypal bad president, but really, not a bad guy, actually a very american and practical entrepreneur, mostly cuz he got the ball rolling in sino-american trade relations, which have turned out to be kind of a big deal. nixon’s presidency was kinda like burroughs’ mandrill (the better purple one), and his fall was kinda like king kong’s. i don’t really give a fuck, but in honor of the whole thing, there’s this.
