Maybe he's going to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Machina 2 by hawking the limited edition merch.
Image of black t-shirt with white text that says, "You know I'm not dead," which are the opening lyrics to "The Everlasting Gaze" from The Smashing Pumpkins album MACHINA/the machines of God. The t-shirt is from Billy Corgan's tea shop Madame Zuzu's exclusive MACHINA Weekend merchandise available online for 24 hours only. These pieces were created for the 25th anniversary celebration and are limited to the weekend production run, coinciding with the anniversary of the release of Machina 2 on September 5, 2000.

The Cancer Man.
William B. Davis in a promotional photo as the Cigarette Smoking Man from the television series The X-Files. This character was also referred to as the "cancer man." He's wearing a suit and scowling with his entire face while holding a lit cigarette in his right hand near his mouth.

A GIF from the music video "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins. Guitarist James Iha is wearing a dress and standing at the door of an ice cream truck with one arm and leg in the breeze as Billy drives the truck down a barren desert road.

This email gave me the same vibes as this sign.
From: The Smashing Pumpkins. Subject: Machina/The Machines of God 25th Anniversary. Body text: Machina/The Machines of God 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Poster Now Available! A tall, rusty business sign on the south side of I-90 in North East, PA, reads "NIAGARA FALLS" in big letters, "information" in small letters, followed by "EXIT NOW" in big letters again, presumably to lure drivers 100 miles away from Niagara Falls into patronizing their shop in Pennsylvania.

Looking southwest from NY somewhere between Buffalo and Rochester.
Looking southwest after sunset while the horizon still glowed yellow and orange, with old farm buildings in the foreground. The roofs and the ground are covered with fresh snow that fell during the day and the night before. The top of an old pear tree is silhouetted against the sky, pointing up toward the crescent Moon and Venus in the darkening blue sky.
