Alex Cyr

Life update: I’m taking the plunge into full-time freelance writing. After 18 months working in communications, I realized that I could no longer ignore the tug of journalism & storytelling. Below are examples of my work - you can also find them here: alexcyrstories.com

The 8 men you meet at run club

Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk: “You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it. Slowly, then all at once, he did. College-age voters shifted sharply right in the 2024 election. “That was not all Kirk’s doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk’s project.” “Kirk and I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side on the continued possibility of American politics. It is supposed to be an argument, not a war; it is supposed to be won with words, not ended through bullets. I wanted Kirk to be safe for his sake, but I also wanted him to be safe for mine, and for the sake of our larger shared project. The same is true for Shapiro, for Hoffman, for Hortman, for Thompson, for Trump, for Pelosi, for Whitmer. We are all safe, or none of us are.”

@wrightetal And yet, I can’t not watch…

⁦@Cyresy_10⁩ Alex Cyr sets the stage for the ‘enhanced games’, where drug use is revered. Controversial. And, of course, coming to Las Vegas—sin city after all—and promoted by one Donald Trump. The proposed motto could be: “If you can’t cheat, don’t play.”

@brady_h As far as I’m concerned, this is like being shouted out by KK on Instagram. Thanks for the shout, Twitter King🙌

Alex is the funniest guy in running (oh and btw, runs 10k in less than 30 minutes).

If you’re serious about performance you shouldn’t have a run streak.
