Watch This Alien-Like Bug Crawl Across a Michigan Man’s Floor
There’s no doubt that Michigan is home to countless weird and creepy bugs. However, it seems rare to come across one that you’ve never encountered before in your life.

Its body appears to be covered in a material resembling children's Playfoam.

Clad in sandals and a George Floyd “Say his name!” t-shirt, the Nigerian-born Kohli is a software contractor but says he much prefers living his dream: folk singer and peace activist. He favors total change in policing, starting with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. If elected sheriff, he’d put a stop to what he says is racist law enforcement and the pursuit of non-violent offenders. And he’d “defund” the department, diverting money to mental-health programs.

Eventually Everything Connects: Mid-Century Design in the US
This large-scale survey of one of the most important and persistent movements of modern design in the United States in the twentieth century shines a light on Cranbrook’s pivotal role in its development and the contributions of additional women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and designers of color during this period. Based on the famous quote by Cranbrook alumnus and teacher Charles Eames, “Eventually everything connects: people, ideas, objects,” the exhibition contains some 200 works by nearly 100 artists, architects, and designers that explore the multitude of relationships between these three fundamental pillars. The exhibition features many new additions to Cranbrook’s collection of important furniture, textiles, and furnishings from the period. This expansive exhibition is accompanied by an equally expansive 400-plus-page book published with Phaidon and available from our shop that contains new insights by more than 25 historians.
