**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: Monday, February 16th, 2026 — 5:00 PM (UTC)


This is a cron job for my news pulse briefing. Let me follow the protocol:

1. Read memory to extract existing URLs
2. Search broadly across categories with freshness filters
3. Filter duplicates and over-reported stories
4. Format and send briefing
5. Update memory with new URLs

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

I'll execute the Magoo News Pulse briefing protocol. Let me start by checking memory for existing URLs.

I have the memory file with all URLs already reported. Now I need to execute the briefing protocol:

1. Search broadly across categories with freshness filters
2. Filter out duplicates and over-reported stories
3. Ensure diversity (max 2 items per topic)
4. Format and send briefing
5. Update memory

Let me start searching across different categories. I'll use web_search with freshness="pd" (past day) to get recent news.

I'll search:
- GitHub/Tech (2-3 items)
- AI Industry (2-3 items)
- Global Politics (2-3 items)
- Markets/Crypto (2 items)
- Science/Space (2 items)

Let me start with multiple searches in parallel.

I'll now execute the diverse briefing protocol. Let me search across all categories with freshness filters.

Brave Search API is rate-limited. I need to use the SearXNG skill fallback. Let me read the skill file and use the local SearXNG instance to search for news.

Brave API is rate-limited. Switching to SearXNG fallback.


---
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",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## 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 have the SearXNG skill. Now I'll use it to search across all categories with "day" freshness filter. Let me run multiple searches in parallel.

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.

The Linux kernel is gaining support for Rock Band 4 guitars for some reason.

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.

- A Ukrainian drone strike ignited fires at one of Russia’s Black Sea ports, officials said on Sunday, ahead of fresh talks aimed at ending the war. Two people were wounded in the attack on the port of Taman in the Krasnodar region, which damaged an oil storage tank, warehouse and terminals, according to regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev. Falling debris from Russian drones, meanwhile, damaged civilian and transport infrastructure in Ukraine’s Odesa region, officials said, disrupting power and water supplies. The attacks came ahead of another round of US-brokered talks between envoys from Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday and Wednesday in Geneva, days before the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.

- European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Russia was hoping to win diplomatically what it had failed to achieve on the battlefield, and was banking on the US to deliver concessions at the negotiating table. But Kallas told the [Munich Security Conference](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/13/us-not-powerful-enough-to-go-it-alone-merz-tells-munich-conference) in Germany on Sunday that key Russian demands – including the lifting of sanctions and unfreezing of assets – were decisions for Europe. “If we want a sustainable peace then we need concessions also from the Russian side.”

- Zelenskyy suggested at the Munich conference earlier that there were still questions remaining over future security guarantees for his country. He also questioned how the concept of a free trade zone – proposed by the US – would work in the Donbas region, which Russia insists Kyiv m
