It would absolutely wonderful if news outlets hosted their own Mastodon instances.

A few news orgs that have done that:
@TexasObserver
@sfstandard
@TucsonSentinel

And several others that have created official Mastodon accounts on general instances:
@ProPublica@newsie.social
@texastribune@newsie.social
@damemagazine@newsie.social
@COTimesRecorder
@rferl@mastodon.social
@msfreepress
@Chron@newsie.social
@themarkup@newsie.social
@sfchronicle
@sfgate

Not sure if this one is official:
@msnbc

If anyone knows of any others, please let me know.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

"the more we see something repeated, the more likely we are to believe it to be true.

This “illusory truth effect” arises because we use familiarity and ease of understanding as a shorthand for truth; the more something is repeated, the more familiar and fluent it feels whether it is misinformation or fact."

Text from article:

“By default, people will believe anything they see or hear,” said Stephan Lewandowsky, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Bristol who specializes in understanding how people respond to corrections of misinformation. In our day-to-day lives, “that makes a lot of sense because most things that we’re exposed to are true,” he said.

At the same time, the more we see something repeated, the more likely we are to believe it to be true. This “illusory truth effect” arises because we use familiarity and ease of understanding as a shorthand for truth; the more something is repeated, the more familiar and fluent it feels whether it is misinformation or fact.

“There is only typically one true version of a claim and an infinite number of ways you could falsify it, right?” said Nadia Brashier, a psychology professor at Purdue University who studies why people fall for fake news and misinformation. “So, if you hear something over and over again, probabilistically, it’s going to be the true thing.”
