Your stylization is more correct than mine.

I’ve heard people pronounce it as “galli-PO-lease”

I submit: Gallipolis, Ohio.

The pronunciation of Lebanon you called out may sound like it came from a hayseed, but it’s closer to the way people in the country of Lebanon pronounce it than the mainstream American pronunciation.

You won’t believe where Kanorado is located.

My first thought went to Spike from Cowboy Bebop.

Now I’m wondering: was Spike based on Bugs?

This is true of an enterprise/company union. Industrial unions tip the seesaw to the other side.

except Noah; wtf was that

I'm going to hazard a response to what you found wtf:

Aronofsky's Noah is told with a Jewish perspective on the story. In Jewish tradition, Noah is a notable person, but he is not admirable. In Genesis it states that Noah was righteous in his generation. Rashi, a leading rabbi in the Middle Ages, said in regards to that statement: "Others, however, explain it to his discredit: in comparison with his own generation he was accounted righteous, but had he lived in the generation of Abraham he would have been accounted as of no importance." (https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.6.9?lang=bi&aliyot=0&p2=Rashi_on_Genesis.6.9.2&lang2=bi)

Jewish sages, too, have long criticized Noah for accepting God's dictate that he will destroy all life on earth without argument. That's in contrast to Abraham who, when God said he would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, argued with God and got him to agree not to destroy the cities if there existed ten righteous people in the cities.

So Aronofsky shows Noah as a religious extremist who does what God says without question. It's a sometimes ugly portrayal, but it fits with an interpretation of Noah that sees him as the best the world had on hand, but not the best that mankind can be.

I’ve been using Instapaper for years. It does the job.

I did not expect to see a Dane Cook reference today.

I’m partial to Christ Chex myself.

Huzzah! Everyone move to Northside so we can support more bodegas!
