Start off your Memorial Day weekend with your fellow Spectrals at Cleveland Park Library! Located at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW in Washington, DC less than two blocks from the Cleveland Park Metro station on the Red Line, the library is a quiet place to meet, relax, and hang out. We're meeting in the large conference room on the second floor. Due to fire regulations, only 20 people can RSVP. Once the count gets to 20, the list will be closed. Eating is prohibited, but drinks in containers with lids are allowed. Afterwards, we typically visit Fat Pete's, a barbecue place with vegetarian, pasta, pizza, and salad options. The owner, PJ, is autistic and knows Spectrum Friends well. I will contact him and let him know we're coming. If he says the place is quiet, we will go there. He always seats us in the quietest place possible. The address is 3407 Connecticut Ave, NW. If Fat Pete's is crowded, there are many other places to go eat in Cleveland Park. Driving is not recommended. Parking is expensive and nearly impossible to find. Taking Metro or a rideshare is much easier. For information on Metro's schedule, please visit [Weekend Track Work: Metro](wmata.com/weekend). If you have trouble finding the place or are running late, please call or text me at 202-802-3238. See you soon, Jenny

If you don't have any drums, there may be extra available. Either way, you can chant along with everyone. Seating is limited so we recommend bringing a chair or blanket to sit on.

We hold out until the last minute to cancel so if the weather seems iffy, keep an eye on our Facebook page for announcements. The DC region is currently experiencing moderate to severe drought. Many other regions of the world are also experiencing drought conditions. We will dedicate our prayers to bringing life-giving rain to all who need it!

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
