O'Rourke's Powered by People group has become a top funder for Democrats who broke quorum to prevent a vote on the maps, but the group was ordered to stop Friday. O'Rourke responded by suing Paxton.
Democratic-controlled states including California, New York and Illinois are threatening to retaliate against Texas and Trump by proposing their own redistricting, putting the nation on the brink of a tit-for-tat overhaul of congressional boundaries that are typically redrawn only once a decade.
The man command, is short for manual. It provides access to the various up-to-date on-board documentation pages. This helps users utilize the Linux/Unix operating systems in a better manner.
What is man ?
The man command is a manual pager which provides the user with documentation about specific functions, system calls, and commands. The man command uses the less pager by default. (See man less for more information.)
Note that a man page is likely to contain better up-to-date information compared to what can be found on the internet. It is wise to compare the man page usage and options with that found on the web.
How to use man ?
To use the man command effectively we have to know the manual pages system. The manual pages are distributed in 8 sections. Each provides documentation on particular topics.
What are the manual page sections ?
Programs, shell commands and daemons.
System calls.
Library calls.
Special files, drivers, and hardware.
Configuration files.
Games.
Miscellaneous commands.
System administration commands and daemons.
Examples
To get the printf library function documentation (section 3):
# man 3 printf
To get the printf shell builtin documentation (section 1):
# man 1 printf
You can learn more about the man command and its options:
# man man
How to manage the index caches database
To update the existing database, or to create it, use the -c or âcreate flag with the mandb command:
# mandb --create
To do a correctness check on the documentation database use the -t or âtest flag:
# mandb --test
How to export manual pages
To export a man page, use the -t flag with the man command:
man -t 5 dnf.conf > manual.ps
This will create a PostScript file with the contents of the dnf.conf man page from section 5.
Alternatively, if you want to output a PDF file, use something like this instead:
man -Tpdf 5 dnf.conf > dnf.conf.pdf
You will need the groff-perl package installed for this command to work.
Summary
The need to get information about commands, daemons, shell builtins, etc. to make them do what they are intended to do correctly, motivates us to use the system manual to learn not everything but the required knowledge to reach our goal.
Republicans who are censured by their county party leaders may be blocked from the primary ballot under a new party rule passed last year, that is expected to be tested by the courts.
In brief: Houston will see a pattern this week of typical August temperatures, and daily shower chances. We may also see a few isolated downpours and strong winds each day. By this weekend high pressure should begin to build over the area, pushing temperatures up and rain chances downward.
Pattern overview
High pressure will develop over the Florida region during the next couple of days, and this area will gradually expand westward this week across the Gulf. What this means for Houston is that, through the coming work week, we will see enough âweaknessâ in the pressure pattern to allow for healthy daily shower chances with a few strong, embedded thunderstorms. This is the kind of weather some areas, such as Sugar Land, experienced on Saturday withy isolated strong storms.
This somewhat unsettled pattern should keep high temperatures this week in the mid-90s, but we could be headed toward hotter temperatures this coming weekend, when the ridge of high pressure expands far enough west to begin directly influencing our weather.
High pressure should expand over the Gulf of Mexico this week. (Weather Bell)
The aforementioned high pressure systemâs placement over the Gulf will also play a role in the evolution of a tropical system now known as Invest 97L, but which is likely to become a tropical storm in a couple of days, and later a hurricane. This system is not much of a threat to reach the Gulf, but the placement of the high will help determine whether Invest 97L approaches the eastern United States or remains well offshore.
Monday
A quick look at the radar this morning shows plenty of showers offshore and to the east of the city, and these should gradually spread into the Houston metro area later this morning. As will be the case much of this week, the showers will be hit or miss, with a few embedded thunderstorms. By this afternoon we should see mostly sunny skies with high temperatures in the low- to mid-90s for areas along and south of Interstate 10, and mid- to upper-90s for inland areas. Winds will be fairly light, at 5 to 10 mph, generally from the south. Overnight lows may briefly fall below 80 degrees.
Tuesday through Friday
Our weather for much of the week will basically be rinse and repeat: highs in the mid-90s for most locations, and a decent (think 40 to 50 percent chance) of showers daily. For most of us, the showers will quickly pass, but there could be isolated, heavier downpours. Since weâre in the middle of August itâs going to be plenty humid with very warm nights. Skies will be partly to mostly sunny.
Saturday and Sunday
As high pressure builds heading into the weekend I believe we are likely to see decreasing rain chances and rising temperatures. Expect mostly sunny skies this weekend, with high temperatures generally in the upper 90s for areas away from the coast. If youâve been waiting for (or dreading) the summer sizzle, it appears to be headed our way.
Next week
If high pressure does start to more directly influence our weather, how long will it last? Thatâs a question I really cannot answer, but there are at least some small indications that perhaps a rainier, slightly cooler pattern will return by the middle of next week or so. At least thatâs the hope I have. Weâll see.
Invest 97L is on the cusp of becoming a tropical storm. (National Hurricane Center)
Atlantic tropics
The big storm everyone is watching this week is Invest 97L, which I mentioned in the introduction. I think thereâs a good chance this will become the seasonâs first Atlantic hurricane, but for now itâs eventual forecast remains uncertain. What we can say is that it is almost certainly not a threat to the Gulf, or Texas. Matt will have plenty more information on this system all of this over at The Eyewall.
Itâs five answers to five questions. Here we goâŠ
1. Our boss takes credit for our work
My program director (Rick) seems to think itâs okay for one of the deputy directors (Daryl) to take credit for the work of people under him.
When Daryl goes to management meetings to report on whatâs been accomplished in his area, he will tell the director and the other deputies (or at least imply) that he has done that work himself, when, actually, he does very little and doesnât really know whatâs going on. We know that this is happening because we are friends with one of the other deputy directors (Lucy), who knows whoâs actually doing the work and reports back to us about what Daryl says.
Apparently, Lucy doesnât call Daryl out in the meetings. Should she?
Several of Darylâs âvictimsâ have complained multiple times about this to Rick. But Rickâs response is that he doesnât care whoâs getting the work done as long as itâs getting done.
The victims find this ridiculous, as does Lucy. It means that Daryl will be able to further his career based on the accomplishments of others, and the people who actually did the work will not benefit.
How common is this attitude among managers? Do they really not care whether deadbeat Daryls are taking credit for the work of others as long as good work is getting done?
Fortunately, weâve been recently restructured, and Daryl is no longer a deputy director. But Rick is still a director and will probably continue to allow others to steal credit in this way. Can you please weigh in on this? Iâm hoping that if there are any Ricks among your readership that youâll knock some sense into them.
Good managers want to credit their teams, because they know it reflects well on them. A team that canât get anything done without the manager driving everything is a team thatâs led by a bad manager.
This isnât on Lucy to speak up about. It would be nice if she did, but there may be internal politics disincentivizing that. Itâs on Daryl, and itâs on Rick as his manager. How bad it is for Rick not to intervene depends on the specific details; if Daryl is just saying âwe did Xâ without naming specific contributors, thatâs not a huge deal, but if heâs actively taking credit for work he didnât do, it is ⊠and âI donât care as long as the work is getting doneâ overlooks the fact that if you want a high-performing team to stick around long-term, employees need to feel their work is recognized. People have a lot less incentive to ensure the work is done, and done well, when no one seems to care who did it.
2. Is it wrong to fire someone for issues that were never addressed?
Iâm writing about a difficult situation with a coworker thatâs been ongoing for about a year.
This employee has a persistent hygiene issue. They have a strong body odor that appears to be from a medical condition, and the smell lingers in the hallway after they pass through. Additionally, for months theyâve been having emotional outbursts near our company property â shouting and using profanity. They seem to think no one can hear them, but multiple people have witnessed this behavior from office windows and while taking breaks outside. Many find it concerning and unprofessional.
The employee has become increasingly withdrawn at work. Now that the incidents are widely known, upper management wants to terminate them. Unfortunately, people have started ostracizing them, and Iâve even heard coworkers and some higher-ups making jokes about the situation behind their back. Simply, they think this person is crazy. We have an HR department, but neither issue has been brought to their attention, and no one has addressed anything with the employee directly.
Iâm troubled that these behaviors are problematic and no one has attempted to address either issue. As a coworker, I recognize itâs not my place to handle these sensitive matters, and I am wondering if it might be for the best to terminate them.
Do you know for sure that no one has tried to address either issue? If itâs known that the odor is caused by a medical issue, it sounds like there may have been a conversation with them at some point that brought that out. But regardless, if itâs medical, thereâs not a lot that can be done; a private office is one option, but that may not make sense depending on the nature of their work, and it wonât solve the problem once they leave that space anyway.
The emotional outbursts are a different thing. If itâs true that no one has spoken with them about that, thatâs a problem! Itâs possible thereâs more to this, like that there are other problems that a manager has attempted to address without success or that are so serious that it doesnât make sense to try coaching or warnings â and as a coworker, thatâs not something youâd necessarily know about â but they certainly wouldnât be the first employer to just want to move to firing without having a direct conversation first, and if thatâs whatâs happening, that would be a failing on their side.
Regardless, itâs not okay that people are joking about the situation (especially higher-ups).
3. Is it weird to have recommendations from an employer who fired me?
I was recently let go from a job I truly loved. I had two separate incidents a couple of months apart where I was unexpectedly hospitalized and unable to contact work to explain my absence (and I really did have no way to reach them).
They forgave the first incident. But even though the two situations werenât related, I hadnât been with the organization long enough for them to feel confident in my reliability, so they couldnât overlook the second. Theyâre also in a period of transition and recently brought on their first HR director, who implemented standard policies, one being a no-call/no-show rule that results in termination. Totally fair, even if it sucked. I broke the policy, and they had to follow through. I got it.
The silver lining: they genuinely loved my work. I was a grant writer and worked closely with the CEO and directors of development and programs, all of whom I had a great rapport with and who appreciated my output. When I came in to return my laptop and sign the termination paperwork (ugh), the HR director made a point of saying she knew how much the CEO valued me and that I was welcome to use her as a reference, based on his input. Since she specifically said she could be listed, and not the CEO, I got the impression that HR handles all reference-related matters. Still, a positive reference, which helped take the sting out of the whole experience.
Then, today, I got a call from their (now former) director of development. Turns out heâs moved on and is doing some contract work. He asked if he could pass my name along to clients who might need a grant writer, saying that writers of my caliber are hard to come by. Obviously, I said yes, and gratefully soaked up the ego boost (much needed). He also mentioned that since heâs no longer with the organization, heâs free to give me a reference himself, without stepping on HRâs toes. So now, in theory, I have two positive references from my last job.
But hereâs where Iâm a little stuck: I was still technically fired. Thatâs going to come up in interviews. Is it weird to offer two references from an organization that let me go?
Itâs not weird, especially given the context. When youâre asked about why you left this job, the answer isnât âI was fired.â The answer is, âI had a health issue that was preventing me from working, but itâs since been resolved.â (If they ask outright if you were fired, you of course shouldnât lie â but explaining that it was because something medical was going on, not because of the quality of your work, is important.) The fact that you have multiple people from that company eager to sing your praises is really helpful.
Also, that new policy sucks. They want to fire good workers for, say, being unable to call in sick because they had a heart attack or were hit by a car or otherwise had valid reasons for being unable to call right away?! Thatâs a terrible rule.
4. Is it better to apply directly or through a site like Indeed?
Is it better to submit applications through Indeed (or similar) or apply directly to the organizationâs webpage? Indeed does not seem to offer the opportunity to include a cover letter.
If you have the option, itâs better to apply directly with the organization. Sometimes it doesnât matter and everything funnels into the same system, but sometimes companies pay more attention to applications that come to them directly. Sometimes, too, the quality of applications from outside sites is noticeably worse, so companies may prioritize people who apply through their own portal. Also, outside sites sometimes format things in weird ways and make it harder for you to customize your application (such as by including a cover letter).
5. Negotiating when youâre offered severance
No question with this one â just a real-life example of a successful severance negotiation:
I found myself in the unfortunate position of being part of a âcorporate restructureâ this week (because of my role, I know itâs actually budget reasons). Itâs unfortunately the second time this has happened to me. They offered me a fairly generous severance package, but since during the meeting they made it abundantly clear that it was not a performance issue and I was eligible for rehire in the future, I decided to try to negotiate. They offered two months of pay, but the big thing for me was insurance because I had met my out of pocket maximum for the year and I have ongoing health concerns that I need addressed. I asked them as part of the package to pay my insurance for the rest of the year. I also asked for a letter of verification of employment stating that I was not terminated for any fault of my own, and to keep my IT equipment minus my laptop.
The only thing that was denied was my IT equipment. I got an email stating they approved my request for insurance for the remainder of the year and they attached the letter. They said the letter wasnât something they had thought of but made sense.
Itâs a huge relief to have insurance because now I can take my time and ensure I have the right fit for my next role. I really appreciate your advice even though it quite frankly sucks to be in this position yet again. I hope when others inevitably end up in this position to remember it cannot hurt to ask!
Waco-area schools are getting ready to lay down the law against cellphone use during the school day, and students are bracing for a disruption in their daily routine. The Texas Legislature this spring passed House Bill 1481, banning âpersonal communications devicesâ during school hours. That includes cellphones, smart watches, laptops or tablets, except those issued [âŠ]

Advocacy groups that tried to defend federal net neutrality rules in court won't file an appeal, saying they don't trust the Supreme Court to rule fairly on the issue.
Net neutrality rules were implemented by the Federal Communications Commission during the Obama era, repealed during Trump's first term, and revived under Biden. Telecom lobby groups challenged the Biden-era restoration of net neutrality rules and beat the FCC at the US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.
While the FCC is now run by Republicans who oppose net neutrality rules, advocacy groups that were involved in the litigation could appeal the ruling. But they won't, saying in a press release that there isn't much point because of the conservative majorities at both the FCC and Supreme Court. Even if the Supreme Court overturned the appeals court ruling, the current FCC would almost certainly eliminate the rules again.
AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They've warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic's AI training now threatens to "financially ruin" the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.
Last week, Anthropic petitioned to appeal the class certification, urging the court to weigh questions that the district court judge, William Alsup, seemingly did not. Alsup allegedly failed to conduct a "rigorous analysis" of the potential class and instead based his judgment on his "50 years" of experience, Anthropic said.
If the appeals court denies the petition, Anthropic argued, the emerging company may be doomed. As Anthropic argued, it now "faces hundreds of billions of dollars in potential damages liability at trial in four months" based on a class certification rushed at "warp speed" that involves "up to seven million potential claimants, whose works span a century of publishing history," each possibly triggering a $150,000 fine.
In brief: Invest 97L will be the tropical disturbance to watch this week as it marches across the Atlantic. Itâs far too soon to say with any certainty how things will play out, but we discuss some of the complicating factors involved in the forecast below. Also, flooding in Milwaukee yesterday and this morning, as we watch a higher-end flash flood risk in southeast Kansas and parts of Missouri.
Good morning. Today weâll dive back in on the next disturbance, now tagged Invest 97L. Invest 96L in the open central Atlantic is not a concern, so weâll skip that one today. Plus, another moderate risk (3/4) of flash flooding today, this time in Missouri and Kansas.
Invest 97L
First off, the tropical wave emerging off Africa is now known as Invest 97L. This has been given a 30 percent chance of developing over the next 2 days but an 80 percent chance over the next week.
Invest 97L is up to an 80 percent development chance this week. (NOAA NHC)
Weâre now seeing Invest 97L gradually cross the Cabo Verde Islands. This is by far the healthiest looking tropical wave weâve seen off Africa this summer.
Invest 97L has bucked the trend of tropical waves suffering from a lack of thunderstorms lately. (Weathernerds.org)
Several of the recent tropical waves weâve seen emerge off Africa have lacked thunderstorms. Invest 97L does not have that issue, and it seems to be spreading some heavy rain across the Cabo Verde Islands today.
Over the next 2 to 3 days, we will see the wave gradually consolidate west of the Cabo Verde Islands and also a little farther to the north. Generally speaking, we should see a consolidated tropical wave attempting to become a depression in about 2 to 3 days, somewhere west of the Cabo Verde Islands and along 15 to 18°N latitude.
About half of the European ensemble shows development of 97L by Tuesday evening. (Weathernerds.org)
Things are fairly straightforward between day 3 and day 5. The disturbance should end up around 500 to 700 miles east northeast of the Leeward Islands by the time we get to later Thursday. From this point, the track forecast gets very, very complicated. To try and sift through this mess, letâs do what we did yesterday and look at the upper pattern. Beginning on Thursday, we can see high pressure still in control to the north of 97L, which should continue to direct it west or west-northwest across the Atlantic. At this point, I would still watch this closely in the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
High pressure over the Atlantic will steer 97L west or west-northwest through late week. (Tropical Tidbits)
As the weekend arrives, the high pressure system in the Atlantic will begin to evolve. For one, it should weaken. As this happens, this will allow 97L to begin to gain some latitude. This is historically a situation where we often see storms intensify, gain latitude, and turn out to sea, possibly threatening Bermuda on the way. But the upper pattern isnât exactly that straightforward with this one it seems. At least not sitting here a week from then.
By Saturday, 97L is probably north of the islands, and it should begin to gain latitude into a weakness between high pressure over the Gulf and high pressure east of Bermuda. (Tropical Tidbits)
Initially, yes, look for 97L to play by the historical rules of the majority of storms in this situation and start turning more northwest. But there are signs that high pressure near Africa and the Canary Islands will try to build west across the Atlantic early next week. If that happens, that may narrow the escape route for 97L out to sea or at least keep it going more northwest than due north.
So, it remains very complicated. The betting odds would still favor this system turning north and eventually out to sea. However, those odds remain low confidence. Folks from Florida and the Bahamas up the East Coast into Atlantic Canada and Bermuda should still be monitoring this system.
Other things we can say? The intensity of the system will matter, as a weaker one would be more apt to stay farther south, perhaps becoming more of a landfall threat later. A stronger system earlier may be more apt to curve back out to sea more easily. The exact latitude this thing establishes will make a difference too. All these things are connected, and none of them are quite figured out just yet. Look for some gradual clarity on who, if anyone is at relative higher risk over the next 2 to 3 days.
Flash flooding risks persist
Another day, another moderate risk of flash flooding.
Moderate risks of flash flooding (3/4) extend from Wichita to near Kansas City and Mid-Missouri. (NOAA WPC)
Yesterdayâs rainfall was impressive, but it ended up a little farther northeast than expected. Some gauges near Milwaukee have received over 10 inches of rainfall since yesterday morning, with another round of heavy rain pushing in as I type this. The rain ended the Wisconsin State Fair a day early.
Rain totals of 7 to 10 inches fell around Milwaukee yesterday. (NOAA)
It would seem an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible there this morning, with some additional rain chances later today.
Meanwhile, in the moderate risk area, a line of thunderstorms is crossing Kansas and the KC metro now. Additional heavy rain development seems likely this afternoon and evening, especially south and east of I-35.
HREF model shows heavy rain risk highest in southeast Kansas and to a lesser extent in Missouri. But with a moderate risk in place there, itâll be important for all areas keep tabs on rainfall today. (NOAA SPC)
Flash flooding risk continues tomorrow just off to the east of todayâs risk area.

Following a national search, the Rothko Chapel in Houston has selected Abdullah Antepli as its new leader. Mr. Antepli, who will hold the title of President, succeeds David Leslie, who retired in June 2025 after ten years at the Chapel.
In a Rothko Chapel press release, Mr. Antepli is identified as âOne of the worldâs most respected leaders in cross-cultural and cross-religious dialogue.â The Houston Chronicle called him âa Turkish-born ordained imam and globally recognized interfaith leader,â and âone of the only imams to pray before Congress, and a man who has been banned from multiple countriesâ â including his home country â âfor his criticism of religious extremism.â

Duke University reports that Mr. Antepli is leaving his position as Professor and Director of the Polis Center for Politics at the Sanford School of Public Policy. He was the universityâs first Muslim chaplain, and later served as Chief Representative for Muslim Affairs and associate director of the Duke Islamic Studies Center. The Rothko Chapel reports that Mr. Antepli was honored by the Anti-Defamation League with the Daniel Pearl Award for his work to build bridges of understanding between Jews and Muslims and for promoting peace and religious tolerance.
Mr. Antepli said, âIt is with great excitement and a deep sense of purpose that I join the Rothko Chapel â a sanctuary where the sacred, the artistic, and the just converge. ⊠At a time when the world is fracturing along religious, partisan, and ideological lines, the Rothko Chapel dares to offer a sacred space where art, silence, and justice meet, and I am humbled to help steward that space forward.â
The Rothko Chapel is a non-denominational spiritual venue built around 14 monumental abstract paintings by the late American painter and Jewish immigrant Mark Rothko, who died in 1970.
Mr. Antepli will lead the Chapel amid a $42 million expansion project that includes two new buildings â a program center and an administrative and archive building â slated to open in 2026.
Christopher Rothko, son of Mark Rothko and former Chair of the Board, said, âAbdullah Antepliâs work embodies the essence of the Rothko Chapel mission â to strive for justice through listening, understanding, and collaboration. We have hired a superb leader.â

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has announced that it will be the only U.S. venue to host the touring exhibition Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting, a 50-year retrospective honoring the English artist credited with reinvigorating figurative art in the 1990s.
The exhibition will open Sunday, October 12, 2025, and run through Sunday, January 18, 2026. The artist will deliver a lecture on Friday, October 10 at 6 p.m.
Organized by the National Portrait Gallery in London, the exhibition is broadly chronological in scope, bringing together nearly 50 works made throughout Savilleâs career, which trace the development of the noted painterâs practice from the 1990s to today.
In a press release, Halona Norton-Westbrook, the Modernâs Director, said the exhibition will â[give] our community and visitors to Fort Worth a remarkable opportunity to experience and learn from the breadth of this celebrated artistâs work. We enthusiastically invite everyone to join us for this stunning exhibition and engaging programs that draw connections in dialogue with the Modernâs Collection.â
Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting was curated in close collaboration with the artist âto explore her deep passion for the painting process, including drawing as a cornerstone,â and will highlight key artworks from her renowned monumental oil paintings to smaller-scale charcoal drawings. Paintings the artist created while still at the Glasgow School of Art will be included, along with a recent series of new portraits that verge on abstraction.
Andrea Karnes, the Modernâs Chief Curator, said, âSavilleâs paintings are rich with emotion and physicality â raw and poetic in equal measure. They push the boundaries of figurative painting and offer a powerful meditation on the human condition.â
The exhibition will be accompanied by a comprehensive publication including a conversation between Saville and exhibition curator Sarah Howgate from the National Portrait Gallery, along with texts from Emanuele Coccia, Dr. Nicholas Cullinan, John Elderfield, Roxane Gay, and Karnes.

William Sarradet talks with Dallas-based fashion designer Ashley Lee about fashion, textile works, and how to approach craft schools across Texas.
âThe lines between art, design, and crafts get quite blurry these days. I tend to think of fashion more as a design form. It can be a craft â there are definitely elements of craft in it â but overall, I view it more as a design form.â
