I'll offer up P.Z. Myers's Pharyngula, which covers biology & evolution, with a bit of leftie politickin' thrown in(as those subjects have become increasingly politicized)
What/who do you read on a regular basis?

Peter Woit (anti string theory)Jacques Distler (pro string theory plus HTML/XML/markup wonk)Andrew Jaffe (astrophysics and bloggy rubbish)P. P. Cook (mathematical physics)Cosmic Variance (string theorists and general relativity people)
Peter Woit has the highest signal-to-noise ration, but also has an agenda (with which I happen to agree). Jacques Distler is also good.
The rest have a little too much politics at the level typical of blogs (i.e. shrill idiocy) or mindless propogation of the same links.
3quarksdaily has lots of pop science in amongst reasonably high brow arts and politics. The posting rate got too high for my tastes (they could do with a best of page/feed), so I have unsubscribed, but it is otherwise excellent.

It's a very entertaining site by science journalist Carl Zimmer (though the formatting seems to have gone goofy recently). Lots of stuff about evolution and parasites, among other topics.

Author of the Very Short Introduction to Maths has a blog: http://gowers.wordpress.com/. Disco.
By the way, if you've read pop sci but have never really got what pure maths (rather than physics) is about, I cannot recommend his Very Short Introduction enough. I'm a theoretical physicist and I didn't get what mathematicians got up to until I read his book. Which is not to say you need to be a theoretical physicist to get it -- it's a very simple, bright, short book. AAA++++ would read again.

Anyone have some new recommendations? It seems like the ones I was still reading are only talking about Copenhagen, James Randi, and atheism.

The zoology posts are usually terrific, though he does other sciency stuff too.
