NEW: The allegations that JPMorgan Executive Lorna Hajdini turned her staffer into her “s*x slave” are fabricated, according to the New York Post. The outlet reports that 35-year-old Chirayu Rana is the man who brought the lawsuit. The man accused Hajdini of forcing him to have s*x with her. “If you don’t f*** me soon, I’m going to ruin you. Never forget, I f***ing own you,” he accused her of saying. Hajdini was accused of asking Rana if she could give him oral s*x in the office, saying: “Birthday BJ for the brown boy? My little brown boy.” “I bet your little Asian, fish head wife doesn’t have these cannons,” he accused Hajdini of saying. JPMorgan strongly denies the claims. “Following an investigation, we don’t believe there’s any merit to these claims. While numerous employees cooperated with the investigation, the complainant refused to participate and has declined to provide facts that would be central to support his allegations,” they said. The Post reports that Rana did not even report to Hajdini and that they were only colleagues on the leveraged finance team. “He has tarnished her with a complete fabrication,” an ‘ally’ told the outlet.

@JaviRandomX @CollinRugg

@modomoblo @CollinRugg Please do one of her saying this: “I bet your little Asian, fish head wife doesn’t have these cannons,”

How can I get a job in JP Morgan? I will move to America and work for free

For the record, I got a couple of milly at JPMorgan — and I think Lorna is innocent of all charges.

This has happened to me before and I was never the same after it

What do you think, chat? Stone cold looksmatch? 💀💀💀

🚨 NEW: The man who claimed he “cried” while receiving oral treatments from a female JPMorgan exec has been identified as 35-year-old Chirayu Rana, per NYP Rana claimed in a now RETRACTED court filing that the JPM exec called his wife a “fish head” while bragging about her “cannons” An internal investigation found ZERO wrongdoing from the exec, and Rana refused to cooperate with the investigation. He also attempted to negotiate a multi-million dollar payoff from the bank before exiting, which they declined, per NYP. The whole story is very fishy.

@sacredrain Actual footage of what happened

White men are in full meltdown mode, coping hard and trying to convince themselves the white woman didn’t have sex with her junior Indian colleague 🤣 Well, you can never stop Indian men and white women from coming together. Indians will rise against all odds.

@JohnLeFevre This footage proves she did it

I would wager any amount of money that this JP Morgan woman is 1000% innocent and now she's having her life ruined by some failed banker turned scammer. 1. JPM conducted a full internal investigation. That means they would have forensically analyzed all devices - business and personal - for direct evidence and indirect behavioral patterns. She cooperated. He didn't. 2. Her reputation is rock solid. JPM LevFin employees are calling her kind and professional, and even prudish (i.e. the opposite of deviant). Conversely, they are calling this John Doe coward a creep and a loser. Now she's been meme'd into oblivion by the Daily Mail and the social media masses. How can she get another job? How can she get a promotion? How can she find a life partner? The memes are funny, but they are destroying this poor woman's life. So try to keep that in mind and have some grace.

@OGsDontFold If you dig under it you might find a sack of gold

@ThomBrady5 Love the evolutionary psychology angle in this one (although it doesn’t seem obvious to any of the involved). She’s clearly unconsciously desperate to get pregnant and her husband isn’t doing the job.

my paranoid conspiracy theory is the British media puts out these degenerate articles in order to seed a set of emotional associations degrading British women in order to cover for the Pakistani migrant rape gangs. Subtext: "She was asking for it"

@robkhenderson From an evpsy perspective the teachers are sucked into the group dynamics of the class. They want to become female Alfa by fucking the male Alfa.

I have a hypothesis about why hot teachers sleep with underage male students but ppl will go bananas so it’ll have to go behind a paywall.

@histories_arch With some makeup and a bit more modern look

Sex workers in a brothel in France, 1910.... These women were likely working in a *maison close*—a regulated brothel. At the time, prostitution in France wasn’t hidden in the same way it is today. It was legal and tightly controlled by the state. Women working in these establishments were registered, subject to regular medical exams, and often lived inside the brothel itself under strict rules. They didn’t come and go freely the way people often imagine. Photos like this were often staged. They weren’t meant to expose reality—they were meant to *sell an atmosphere*. Brothels competed for clients, especially wealthier men, and presentation mattered. The poses, the clothing (or partial lack of it), the relaxed but deliberate body language—this is advertising, even if it looks informal. Some of these images were turned into postcards or private keepsakes, circulating quietly among clients. But there’s a harder truth underneath the surface. Many of these women didn’t enter this life out of choice. Poverty, lack of options, family pressure, or outright coercion pushed them there. Once inside, debt systems often kept them trapped—owing money for clothes, food, and lodging to the very establishment they worked in. So while the image might feel almost theatrical or even glamorous, the reality behind it was often controlled, limited, and harsh. And yet—there’s something striking here. The way they’re posed together, the confidence in their expressions, the sense of group identity. Whether staged or not, it captures a moment of presence—women who existed inside a system that tried to define them, but who still held onto some version of themselves within it. So no, this isn’t one specific documented “story” tied to named individuals. But it *is* a snapshot of a much bigger story—about gender, control, survival, and how societies package uncomfortable realities into something easier to look at. © Women In World History #archaeohistories

@escapefrommelos Make-up and hairstyles makes a big difference

its genuinely crazy how much hotter women have gotten in the last 100 years

@magnushambleton Swiss are famous for things not people

It wasn’t until I lived in Switzerland, a country with very similar population to Sweden but which has produced basically zero internationally famous people in any domain, that I realised how special Sweden is

@HeraldOfRome @RomeInTheEast Rome tried its best to defeat the Germanics at its peak and failed. The same can’t be said for the West and third world immigrants.

The argument that Rome fell because of immigration-driven population replacement doesn't really hold up when you look at the genetic and historical evidence. 90+% of the "immigrants" into Roman era Italy were ancient Greeks, coming from the most developed regions in the world with the most educated populations. They don't really count as immigrants since they were simply moving from one Roman province to another, and in most cases they were moving into areas of Italy that Greeks had already colonized and settled centuries earlier. The difference in the Imperial period is that they were now also moving into central and north Italy. So the basic premise of a totally foreign population flooding in is already wrong. What actually happened was the opposite of the decline story. They arrived centuries before the western collapse and a millennium and a half before the eastern one, and the populations they contributed to went on to produce some of the highest measured cognitive profiles in pre-modern Europe. Once you line up the genetics, the timeline, and the outcomes, this fairy tale falls apart. 90+% of the "immigrants" into Roman era Italy were ancient Greeks, coming from the most developed regions in the world with the most educated populations. They don't really count as immigrants since they were simply moving from one Roman province to another, and in most cases they were moving into areas of Italy that Greeks had already colonized and settled centuries earlier. The difference in the Imperial period is that they were now also moving into central and north Italy. You can see their genetic contribution clearly in modern Italians, which hasn't changed much since antiquity apart from minor Germanic admixture in the north. Southern Italians (Calabria, Campania, Sicily) carry 63–67% Roman-era Ancient Greek-like ancestry. Central Italians (Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria, Marche) carry 49–56%. Even northern Italians (Lombardy, Veneto, Liguria) carry 29–33%. The same Roman-era Ancient Greek-like signal shows up at around 20% in Iberia. This is not a foreign population replacing natives because it's a continuation and expansion of a Mediterranean genetic cline that already existed. The samples from Imperial Italy, around 1–200 AD (after the big migration into Italy had already happened), were mostly Greek mixed, and scored higher on PGS EDU/IQ than other Europeans, higher even than medieval Europeans who lived 1,000 years later. So the so-called "immigrants" were still smarter than the surrounding European populations. The timeline alone destroys the argument of collapse due to population replacement. The main Roman-era migration into Italy happened around 150–50 BC. The western empire fell in 476 AD, roughly 500 to 600 years later. The eastern empire fell in 1453 AD, roughly 1,500 years later. What kind of "population replacement causes civilizational collapse" mechanism takes 600 to 1,500 years to produce its effect? At that point they're not actually describing a causal process, because when your supposed cause and effect are separated by 600 to 1,500 years with an entire functioning empire in between, they're just pointing at two distant events and asserting a connection without explaining how one led to the other. If you want to argue demographics mattered for 476 specifically, the only even remotely plausible candidate is Germanic migration, and specifically the fact that Germanic immigrants became overrepresented in military commands in the 4th and 5th centuries due to corrupt political decisions by emperors and regents. And those Germanics most likely had lower intelligence than the Italians they were displacing in military roles, since medieval samples from Germany and medieval Viking samples score lower on PGS IQ/EDU than Imperial Italian samples. But even this wasn't population replacement. It was a minority being overrepresented in military positions, not a demographic shift in Italy itself. The eastern half of the empire, populated by exactly the same Greek stock that had settled central Italy centuries earlier, continued for another 1,000 years and remained the most developed civilization for centuries after the West fell. The genetics were basically the same, yet the outcome was the opposite, which is something the hypothesis cannot explain. The actual genetic evidence, as far as it goes, points in the opposite direction. Pre-modern civilizations appear to show selection for higher intelligence and lower rates of mental disorders, not against.

@HeraldOfRome @RomeInTheEast It doesn’t matter if a civilization is more advanced as long as it can’t win on the battle field

@modomoblo @RomeInTheEast Why did those Germanics cause development to go 1000 years backwards?
