I just noticed that I already have a review up for issue #25 of this series, even though there are two distinct cover, each with &#8220;#25&#8221; prominently featured on them.\u00c2\u00a0 This one definitely comes after the other #25, making this #26?\u00c2\u00a0 Or this #25 and the other one #24?\u00c2\u00a0 Damned if I know.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/crass252.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17481\" title=\"crass252\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/crass252-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/crass252-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/crass252-702x1024.jpg 702w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Crass Sophisticate #25 In this issue of Crass Sophisticate we learn the meaning of life, the love of family and how true love always wins out.\u00c2\u00a0 Did I have any of you going for a second there?\u00c2\u00a0 All those things may have been touched on, and some of them were, but this is supposed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1918,3215,3216],"class_list":["post-17479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-crass-sophisticate","tag-josh-reinwald","tag-justin-rosenberg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17479"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17479\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17482,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17479\/revisions\/17482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
