WIF Study Finds Women-Led Companies Receive Less Funding Than Male Counterparts

Chris Willman Music WriterThe phrases “music festival” and “Super Bowl” didn’t always seem like they should be naturally conjoined, but in an era where halftime performers get as much scrutiny as which teams make the finals, it’s made sense to draw out the musical parts of the annual festivities as much as possible, even if it’s just for in-person visitors and not worldwide television consumption. And so for the third time in four years (minus one pandemic time-out), the game’s host city is also getting a three-night Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest, aimed at luring locals as well as out-of-towners with diverse double-headliner bills.At L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena (which was still called Staples Center when the lineup was revealed in November), Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly provide the action on Thursday, the first night.

Spotify users have cancelled their subscriptions since the controversy around Joe Rogan’s podcast broke out.In January, hundreds of scientists and medical professionals asked Spotify to address COVID-19 misinformation on its platform, sparked by comments made on The Joe Rogan Experience. The 270-plus members of the science and medical community signed an open letter, which called Rogan’s actions “not only objectionable and offensive but also medically and culturally dangerous”.Following the publishing of that letter, Neil Young demanded his music be “immediately” removed from the platform, with many high-profile artists like Joni Mitchell, David Crosby and Graham Nash following suit.Now, as Variety reports, a consumer poll from Forrester Research has found that 19 per cent of the streaming service’s customers have since cancelled their subscriptions, or plan to in the near future.

Journal of Sex Research last week affirmed the longstanding theories of a “fraternal birth order effect,” in which “men’s propensity for homosexuality increases with the number of older biological brothers they have,” the researchers noted in an article for The Conversation.The scientists — Christine Ablaza, Francisco Perales, and Jan Kabatek — noted that past research into fraternal birth order effect had involved small samples. To counter this, researchers used Dutch population registers and followed the lives of nine million people born between 1940 and 1990.While the registers don’t explicitly state sexual orientation, researchers used same-sex partnerships and same-sex marriages to determine an individual’s sexuality.They argue that, despite excluding all gay people who haven’t registered an official partnership or marriage, their findings demonstrate “clear evidence” of fraternal birth order effect on homosexuality.Dutch men with three older brothers are 41% more likely to be in a same-sex relationship than men with three older sisters.They are also 80% more likely to be in a same-sex relationship than men with three younger brothers, which researchers say show that being the youngest sibling increases the likelihood of homosexuality — and that the differences increase with the number of older male siblings.However, even one older brother can make a difference.
