Digg.com is really great these days.

Their "front page" is mostly interesting and curated long reads which I really enjoy.

Wow, it has really changed. Thanks for recommending.
For music discovery and history:

- Ishkurs Guide: http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

- http://radiooooo.com/

for timezones of co-workers and clients:

- http://localtimes.info/

sci-hub / libgen (should be known quite widely now)

Seasonal and regional, but whenever there is a hint of snow in western Washington state, I start reading posts by a UW meteorological professor: http://cliffmass.blogspot.com. He's acutely focused on the "perfect storm" of conditions needed for any significant amount of snow in our region.
Before I moved to Texas I followed Cliff almost daily for new posts. He was especially detailed when any "pineapple express" or snow storms would come along. Way more useful info than komo4/king5/etc.
Pretty much one of the best resources for maintaining a Mazda rotary... www.aaroncake.net

The RX-5 Cosmo restoration video series on his youtube channel is very worth watching if you're even remotely interested in working on cars.

http://www.fonerbooks.com - because of the "content first" design, and because its demise was caused by a major change in the Google search algo that promotes social media hype and interaction more than readable and valuable information. It has been an inspiration for many years.

Don't really have a favourite, but there are many not so popular that I saved in my tiny bookmark list!

Physics: http://www.asimmetrie.it - http://www.smartfish.ch

Cyberpunk: https://www.neondystopia.com

Computing: https://calomel.org - https://www.michaelwlucas.com

I particularly enjoyed the clever presentation of the concept design @[http://www.smartfish.ch/file/SmartFish_Design_10.wmv] and the total overwhelming hilarity of Michael @[https://www.michaelwlucas.com/autobiography/the-porn-star].

http://www.metafilter.com a discussion site that charges a one time fee for accounts and has paid moderators. Works brilliantly, except that they deserve more money.
