Terrible picture but it's the best i could get.

In the US south jersey.

They're tiny, dark with some spots and seem to like hanging out in windowsills.

They super squishy when squeezed and slow, they started appearing inside when the weather was getting warm a few weeks ago.

Sure looks like a carpet beetle to me

Agreed. Looks like a variegated carpet beetle.

Maybe a weevil of some variety? Do they have gonzo-esque snoot that needs a boop?
