[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] **Magoo News Pulse — DIVERSE BRIEFING PROTOCOL**

**REQUIREMENTS:**
- 10-12 items minimum
- **NO MORE than 2 items on the same topic/story** (even from different sources)
- Diverse sources: mix of Reuters, AP, BBC, Politico, TechCrunch, Ars, etc.

**STEP 1:** Read memory, extract existing URLs

**STEP 2:** Search broadly across categories:
- GitHub/Tech (2-3 items) — repos, releases, security
- AI Industry (2-3 items) — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, startups
- Global Politics (2-3 items) — US, Europe, Asia, conflicts, policy
- Markets/Crypto (2 items) — stocks, Fed, crypto, earnings
- Science/Space (2 items) — discoveries, space missions, health

**STEP 3:** FILTER & CURATE
- Remove duplicate URLs
- Remove over-reported: Anthropic $30B, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, Munich Conference
- **CRITICAL: If you find 3+ stories on same topic, pick only the 2 best, discard rest**
- Ensure variety: don't have 3 Ukraine stories, 2 is max

**STEP 4:** Format briefing
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], [Date]

🛠 **TECH:**
🤖 **AI:**
🌍 **GLOBAL:**
💰 **MARKETS:**
🔬 **SCIENCE:**

**STEP 5:** Send via message tool to 6558388607

**STEP 6:** Append URLs to memory

If you can't find 10 diverse items, send: "📰 **Magoo Briefing** — Only [X] diverse items this cycle. Waiting for more news."
Current time: Tuesday, February 17th, 2026 — 12:40 AM (UTC)


Alright, I need to follow this protocol carefully:

1. Read memory to extract existing URLs
2. Search broadly across categories with freshness filtering
3. Filter duplicates and over-reported stories
4. Ensure diversity (max 2 items per topic)
5. Format and send briefing
6. Append URLs to memory

Let me start by reading memory files to see what URLs we've already reported.

I'll execute the Magoo News Pulse briefing protocol. Starting with memory check and broad diverse searches.

Brave API is rate limited. The protocol says to use SearXNG as fallback. Let me check the skill location and use it.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Good, I'll use SearXNG with `day` freshness for all searches. Let me run diverse searches across categories.

ChatGPT is getting a Lockdown Mode.
Lockdown Mode is “not necessary” for most people and “tightly constrains how ChatGPT can interact with external systems to reduce the risk of prompt injection–based data exfiltration,” [according to OpenAI](https://openai.com/index/introducing-lockdown-mode-and-elevated-risk-labels-in-chatgpt/).

The Apple Vision Pro is getting foveated streaming, which is Valve’s fancy trick for the Steam Frame.
I was impressed with foveated streaming [on the Steam Frame](/games/816118/valve-steam-frame-vr-headset-streaming-arm-steamos-hands-on), which, when you’re interacting with games streamed to the headset, renders what’s right in front of your eyes at the highest fidelity. I hope it’s just as good on the Vision Pro.
Apple announced visionOS’s foveated streaming as part of the first developer beta for visionOS 26.4.

NPR’s David Greene is suing Google over its AI podcast voice.
The former host of Morning Edition and current host of Left, Right & Center claims that Google illegally replicated his voice for its male podcast host in NotebookLM. Google denies this, but Greene (and many of his friends and colleagues) say the resemblance is “uncanny.” As the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/15/david-greene-google-ai-podcast/) reports:
To Greene, the resemblance of the AI voice to his own is uncanny — and the harm is deeper and more personal than just a missed chance to capitalize on his most recognizable asset.
“My voice is, like, the most important part of who I am,” Greene said.

Western Digital says it’s “pretty much soldout” for 2026.
Enterprise customers, especially AI data centers, have already [gobbled up](https://investor.wdc.com/events/event-details/western-digital-second-quarter-fiscal-2026-earnings-call) the company’s capacity for 2026. At this point, consumer sales account for just[5 percent](https://www.tweaktown.com/news/110168/western-digital-runs-out-of-hdd-capacity-ceo-says-massive-ai-deals-secured-price-surges-ahead/index.html) of the company’s revenue, so it’s no surprise WD is prioritizing high-capacity drives for data centers.

Polymarket ran a popup ‘free grocery store’ in NYC because it has ‘market’ in its name.
[Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) described the scene as “bleak” and noted that many waiting in line for [the promised](/news/873460/polymarket-and-kalshi-play-nino-brown) free Tide Pods and milk (which was apparently purchased at an Aldi before being stocked on the popups’ oddly orderly shelves) had never heard of Polymarket and didn’t intend to place bets there. When [Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) asked why:
Because of the word market within Polymarket, per Josh Tucker, a company executive. Get it? Daf Orlovsky, a creative director, said it could work — “these ideas that don’t seem possible could be brought to life at tech-market speed,” he said.

There’s [fun details like a Master ball plunger handle](https://sternpinball.com/game/pokemon/) and a Meowth balloon that swoops down, but to get all the best features you’ll need to skip the $6,999 Pro and $9,699 Premium machines, and splurge on the $12,999 Limited Edition option.

Deezer is giving users more control over their infinite algorithmic Flow playlists.
[Flow Tuner](https://newsroom-deezer.com/2026/02/deezer-launches-flow-tuner-personalized-recommendations/) lets users pick which genres are included in a Flow session, rather than just disliking individual songs. It’s a hamfisted way to customize your algorithm, but the specificity of Deezer’s options are impressive: Metalcore, Balkan Folk, Schlager. This is well beyond your basic buckets like rock and pop.

<<<END_EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT>>>


Good! I got some real content from the fetches. Now let me extract unique, diverse news items from these sources. Let me parse what I have:

**From The Verge:**
- ChatGPT Lockdown Mode - OpenAI security feature
- Apple Vision Pro foveated streaming (visionOS 26.4)
- Vatican AI translation service - St. Peter's Basilica 60 languages
- TikTok retained 95% users post-takeover
- NPR David Greene sues Google over AI podcast voice
- Disney sues ByteDance over Seedance character infringement
- DHS subpoenas social media for ICE critics data
- Western Digital sold out for 2026 due to AI data centers
- Gemini outage reports
- Linux kernel adding Rock Band 4 guitar support

**From BBC:**

- Robert Duvall dies at 95
- Ancient elephant bone/Hannibal Alps crossing
- China vs Japan (pandas, tourism)
- Dark web rescue
- Lovers' Arch collapse (Italy, Valentine's Day)
- Austrian ski jumper disqualified (boots 4mm too big)

**From CoinDesk:**

- Harvard cuts bitcoin 20%, adds ether
- Nexo re-enters US market
- Bitcoin $68K, recession warning (Mike McGlone)
- OKX gets EU payments license
- Russia crypto turnover $650M daily

Now let me filter against memory URLs and create a diverse 10-12 item briefing...

Already reported:
- Harvard bitcoin/ether rebalance ✓
- OKX EU license ✓
- Bitcoin $68K warning ✓
- Crew-12/Artemis (NASA) ✓

New items I can use:
1. ChatGPT Lockdown Mode (AI/OpenAI)

2. NPR David Greene sues Google AI voice (AI legal)
3. Disney vs ByteDance Seedance (AI legal)
4. DHS subpoenas social media for ICE critics (politics/tech)
5. Western Digital sold out 2026 (tech/AI infrastructure)
6. Vatican AI translation 60 languages (AI application)
7. TikTok 95% user retention (tech/social)
8. US warships near Iran (global)
9. Hillary Clinton Epstein files (politics)
10. Robert Duvall dies 95 (culture - but news)
11. Ancient Hannibal elephant bone (science)
12. Hong Kong crypto license (markets - already reported)
13. Nexo US return (markets)
14. Russia crypto turnover $650M (markets)
15. Lovers' Arch collapse Italy (lighter news)
16. Linux Rock Band guitar support (tech oddity)

I'm narrowing this down to 10-12 stories with good topic spread. Going with Western Digital's supply constraints and the DHS social media subpoena for tech coverage. For AI, I'll include the NPR lawsuit against Google and the ChatGPT Lockdown Mode feature. On the global front, the Iran naval situation and Clinton-Epstein documents provide geopolitical and political angles. Markets get represented through Nexo's US expansion and Russian crypto activity. Science includes the Hannibal elephant discovery and Vatican's multilingual translation system, which bridges both science and AI applications.

For culture and entertainment, Robert Duvall's passing and TikTok's engagement metrics round out the selection. I'm aiming for roughly two stories per category to maintain balance across different reader interests. the URLs for each of these stories to include in the newsletter.

Based on the web fetches, I have fresh news. Let me compile a diverse briefing with proper source links:
