Hey there love these btw. 

Maybe for we use we can use that – its satirical at this point– some of that Silicon slang for the Google tweet.

".@Google disrupts the tech world with new parent company, Alphabet"

For the Hiroshima tweet, I think we can just cut it down to: 

"70 years later, Japan & the world remembers victims of #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki" <-- NOTE: not trending as significantly anymore and we have our own hashtag to account for. 

Can say something for the North Korea tweet using FB/G suggestion - I don't find it too curt at all. 

LGTM

We plan to send out five pieces of social for this story, spread through the rest of the week to keep things timely.

Please do comment for tone.
