Found in my friend’s home on Long Island, NY

Thanks!
Looks like a bug in your camera software to me.
Although it’s out-of-focus, offhand I’d guess some kind of earwig.
That looks like a Two-pronged Bristletails (Diplura)
To blurry to get a better identity
Well, there’s no easy cue for scale in the photo – how big was this bug? The bristletails are quite small, 2 to 5 mm in length, and always pale (unpigmented). The bug in that picture doesn’t look unpigmented to me.
Too dark to be a dipluran (which are mostly unpigmented). They are also very small, and typically live in leaf litter rather than houses.
Seems to me earwig is the best guess. Rove beetle is another possibility, but I haven’t found any pictures that show any species with such long “tails” (cerci) at the end of the abdomen.

LOL.
My vote is for silverfish. Quite common in houses, especially bathroom/laundry areas.
I don’t think so. Silverfish almost always have a tapering abdomen; the abdomen of the insect in the photo is rather bulbous. Also, a silverfish would normally show three “tails,” not two.
As Colibri mentioned maybe rove beetle. Here is the closest I could find
My vote for rove beetle as well (although that pic is pure shite - try to get something clearer!) - its blurry as all hell, but I think I can see the short elytra.
