I'm sure other people will give better resources for news, science, and such, so I'll post blogs I read about niche subjects I'm enthusiastic about.

Car Blogs

Autoblog - It's my go to website for industry news. Other places tend to have more in depth articles, but if you want to hear about something as soon as it happens, Autoblog is a good place to start.

Speedhunters - They're a car blog written by people who are super passionate about cars. They focus on everything from custom builds to car culture in general. What makes them stand out above and beyond all other car blogs for me though is their photography. The photos they use for their articles never disappoint.

Petrolicious - Although they have editorial and journal pieces, I come here mainly for their short films. They're mini documentaries focused around people and their passion for cars.

Hot Rod Network - They're owned by the same parent company that owns Motortrend and Automobile, two car magazines that I have all but stopped reading. What I love about Hot Rod Network though, is that they are kind of like Gawker for cars, without being shit. If you want to check out traditional custom builds, Muscle Car Review is there for you. Are you a bit of a gear head? You'll love Engine Masters. Want to see people participate in automotive shenanigans? Check out their web series Roadkill. If you like cars, it's easy to spend half your day on Hot Rod Network alone.

Hooniverse - Are you one of those guys that likes going to cruise-ins and cars and coffee and just shoot the breeze about anything car related? Hooniverse is those discussions, in blog form.

Comics and Entertainment

Bleeding Cool - They cover mostly comicbooks, television, movies, and games. Other sites will be more in depth, but if you're looking for a quick blurb here and there without spending too much time, Bleeding Cool has you covered.

Comic Book Resources - Once again, comics, television, movies, toys, and nerd culture in general. They tend to keep you up to date on rumors and news and they often have some fairly decent editorials as well.

Comic Vine - Yeah, they're owned by the same people that own Gamespot. Yeah, Gamespot is full of sellouts and sucks now. The one thing this place has going for it is the number of previews they have to offer.

Boxing/MMA

Bloody Elbow and Bad Left Hook - I'm putting both under the same section as they're both owned by SB Nation/Vox Media. That said, they're both great sites for keeping up on MMA and Boxing news and rumors.

Fightland – In my opinion, Fightland is just wonderful. They have great articles and editorials and their pieces often really focus on the more human element of MMA/martial arts. When I want to share something martial arts related with people who aren't fans of martial arts, nine times out of ten I'll be sending them an article from Fightland.

Boxing Scene - What these guys lack in quality, they make up for in quantity. Boxing Scene is like taking a shotgun to the face for boxing news.
