John Baez, “from math to physics to earth science and biology, computer science and the technologies of today and tomorrow,” plus stuff on catastrophic risk w.r.t. climate change.
Andrew Gelman, pointing out bad statistics in social science. More than once, I’ve revised my beliefs about some study months later when he points out a failure to replicate or other problem.
Timothy Gowers, math, analysis I stuff recently, mostly over my head
Terry Tao, math, number theory, mostly over my head
And finally my blog, I try to share surprising information, cogsci/relationships/computer science/math
gwern posts on google+ and Kaj Sotala posts interesting stuff on Facebook. I also subscribe to a number of journal’s table of contents via this site to keep up with research and some stuff on arxiv.
I have to admit the intersection with my feed list is most definitely non-empty: I’d add Good Math Bad Math, mathematics, computer science and, sometimes, recipes and playlists.
