Politics, probably a bit Britain-centric for you, but there's enough on American issues to keep you there.

Robin Hanson's Overcoming Bias — hands down the best blog on the Internet. Completely changed the way I view the world. Many well-reasoned contrarian views, especially on signalling, and an excellent source of quotes and one-liners.
The Last Psychiatrist — psychiatrist's views on the society, mostly about the pervasive narcissism but don't miss his interpretations of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and the story of Narcissus
I found those two insights — about signalling and omnipresent narcissism — particularly enlightening. Including finally understanding what narcissism really is and how it's not about looking in the mirror.
Roissy — obviously.
I'll have to check out that overcoming bias blog.
And I will second the last psychiatrist, some of that stuff is very eye opening.
Chaos and Pain has some pretty good articles if you like to read about lifting culture.

Slashdot -
http://www.slashdot.org
The articles are not quite as interesting as the comments, which are definitely worth reading. Sometimes, even red-pill stuff appears for divorce/dating related articles.
Early Retirement Extreme -
http://earlyretirementextreme.com/
It's interesting, but focused too much on frugality and how to disconnect from society with a networth of $500k to live on $15k/year in perpetuity. I think Mark Cuban's approach to using the $500k to take your shot in life is much better than just trying to live frugally forever after reaching $500k, but it's good for getting to that initial $500k or whatever target you are going for.
2million dollar blog -
http://www.2millionblog.com/
Guy attempts to amass 2 million in networth within twenty years from entering the rat race, despite being married with a child, on the premise that he could live off the 2 million forever with a 100k/year lifestyle in perpetuity. Fascinating reading, especially since it looks like he will make the goal earlier than anticipated.
