I’m a farm girl – I make every blue collar man’s dream come true, I’m a farmer’s daughter with a spicy twist
A FARM girl says that her dad may be a farmer but she’s built differently.
She’s a farmer’s daughter with a spicy twist.

Natalie Paige (@pnwnataliepaige), a country girl, took viewers around her ranch in a video shared with her TikTok followers.
As she walked to prepare for her farm tasks for the day, she revealed some newfound aspirations.
“Deciding to make every blue collar man’s dream come true and be the farmer’s daughter with a spicy twist,” she said.
The country girl held up a beer to toast to the goal, smiling wide.
In another video, she fully committed to the aspiration: the farm girl fed cows and horses in cropped tees and denim shorts, sharing spicy photos.
She even went as far as completing her chores in lingerie, peeling back a brown coat to reveal a lacy one-piece.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts: “Wow, you maybe the perfect woman,” said one admirer.
“Perfection in every way!” said another.
“Absolutely breathtaking, stunningly beautiful lady.”
“Something about a country girl….. and that hat,” said a third.
“You’re killing it, keep doing you.”
“Hard to beat a good country girl!” agreed another.

Elon Musk said Twitter Blue subscribers would see ‘half as many ads.’ That’s not true.
One of the main upcoming features touted by Twitter for users who subscribe to Twitter Blue has been the ability to see less advertising.
When owner Elon Musk announced the $8 per month paid subscription service (or $11 per month on mobile) shortly after acquiring the company last year, he specifically said that subscribers get “half as many ads.”
Now that Twitter has finally shared details of the ad removal feature, we know that’s not actually the case.
As first spotted by TechCrunch, Twitter has updated its About Twitter Blue help page which includes more information about the “half ads” feature that’s rolling out. And, as it turns out, subscribers are not actually getting “half ads.”
Here’s the entire section with the details:
Half ads: See approximately 50% fewer ads in the For You and Following timelines. As you scroll, you will see approximately twice as many organic or non-promoted Tweets placed in between promoted Tweets or ads. There may be times when there are more or fewer non-promoted Tweets between promoted Tweets. The half ads feature does not apply to promoted content elsewhere on Twitter, including but not limited to ads on profiles, ads in Tweet replies, promoted events in Explore, promoted trends, and promoted accounts to follow. Blue subscribers will have access to this feature after their account has been reviewed for eligibility and the blue checkmark has been applied.
Let’s pick it apart.
The first thing to notice is that this only affects the “For You and Following timelines.” So users are not seeing “half as many ads” on Twitter, just those timelines. This is the equivalent for paying for a subscription for a website that provides an “ad free” experience, but they only remove ads from the homepage.
And Twitter isn’t committing to exactly “half” either, as the company notes that users will see “approximately 50 percent fewer ads.”
Personally, the ads on those main timelines are also the least intrusive ads, as users already see all sorts of algorithmically recommended content they did not specifically ask for. Users are just used to scrolling until they stop on something they want to see.
According to Twitter, users paying for Twitter Blue will receive the exact same ad experience as non-paying users when it comes to “Ads on profiles, ads in Tweet replies, promoted events in Explore, promoted trends, and promoted accounts to follow” i.e. everywhere else on Twitter.
Some of the unaffected ads include adverts that users can’t escape as these ad spots follow users throughout each page on Twitter’s website. Other unaffected ads, such as the ones that appear interspersed among the users replying in the mentions of a tweet, are some of the most annoying on the platform.
Musk says pricier, ad-free Twitter Blue option is coming
Late last year, Musk claimed that the company was working on an even higher-priced Twitter Blue plan that would show paying subscribers “no ads.” Further details around that plan have not been announced. However, when it comes to getting users to pay for the platform, Twitter has been struggling to sign users up for even the $8 Twitter Blue tier.
Power users, the ones most likely to pay for a service, have mostly passed on subscribing. It’s estimated that Twitter Blue just only cracked the 500,000 subscriber mark recently, around 4 months after the service launched.
It should also be noted that users looking to block Twitter ads don’t even really need to pay to do so. And they don’t need a third-party ad blocker plugin or extension either. Twitter ads are essentially regular tweets from normal Twitter accounts that are promoted into users’ feeds. Users can just block accounts whose ads appear in their feeds and they will no longer see those adverts.
Since Musk’s takeover, Twitter has lost half of its advertisers. On top of that, Twitter’s top advertisers that stuck around are spending 89 percent less than they did before Musk too. So, if a user really wanted a nearly “ad free” Twitter experience, it’s likely wouldn’t be too hard for them to make that happen on their own. And at no cost.

“There Is No Cow Level” Might Be True In Diablo 4, At Least At Launch
Diablo 4 won’t feature a cow level, at least at launch. Blizzard confirmed in an interview that there won’t be a cow level in Diablo 4, as it wouldn’t match with the tone and world of the game.
In an interview with Wowhead, a developer seemingly confirmed that there will not be a cow level, or an equivalent type of area, in Diablo 4 at launch. Blizzard cited the gritty and grounded world of Diablo 4 as the reason why things like a cow level, pets, or wings won’t appear in the game. However, as the game exists and gets post-launch updates, Blizzard might loosen those restrictions.
The cow level refers to the hidden level in Diablo 2 called The Secret Cow Level, which features a ton of Hell Bovine enemies. Blizzard has regularly denied the existence of the cow level in the past, even putting a “There is no cow level” message in Diablo 2, but it seems to be true for Diablo 4. This level was popular for farming XP, since the cow enemies were relatively weak and there were a ton of them in the level. Diablo 3 had its own version of the cow level called Whimsyshire, which features colorful teddy bears in a rainbow-filled level, the complete opposite of the rest of Diablo 3.
