A senator in a parka, in front of a shelf, asking for financial support — 'I am once again asking' — as the format for any repeated request: for the group chat to reply, for the roommate to buy milk. The record's entry for the ask as a meme, one year before the mittens.
You were there or you weren't. I remember the first week of I Am Once Again Asking — January 2020, roughly — and the specific feeling that everyone had agreed on a joke overnight without a meeting.
The record has Bernie's Mittens for 2021. This is the year before, and the record notes it was the rare politician to be memed twice, affectionately, in consecutive Januarys.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
