I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

This is really good.

After reading the first paragraph I can't help but wonder if the whole fanbase collectively thought this in silence... Because I did.

Viktor Gyokeres is doing exactly as well as I expected at this level but it would be nice to see him absolutely blast a couple in soon

The @scoutedftbl.com 50 is here.

I voted in part with my heart and in part with my access to elite level scouting algos.

Sub to Scouted. It makes sense.
