hypna is a cool design/art/tech mishmash.
(pretty much all of the other ones I follow are dozens of tumblrs with pictures of cats. if you want funny pictures of cats, international pictures of cats, artistic pictures of cats, pictures of cats having parties, or other manner of pictures of cats, please feel free to inquire within.)

I have a lot more random people that post NSFW stuff, lots of witch-house 17-20 year old girls and 20-something black dudes (the two groups of people do the best Tumblrs). But these are more 'themed' and mostly SFW:
noise-park - South Park-ified Noise & Experimental Musicians
tildastardust - Tilda Swinton & David Bowie look-a-like photos
pizzshack - Screen captures from VHS
corporatetwits - Idiots complaining on Facebook/Twitter feeds of Corporations
thesimpsonsscreencaps
dougfunniesjournal - Doug Funnie (of the TV Show Doug) was a lunatic and this dissects episodes
kimjongillookingatthings
kimjongildroppingthebass
realitytvgifs
fyeahkingdiamond - Fuck Yeah King Diamond
terrysdiary - Terry Richardson (skeezy photographer, some NSFW)
fuckyeahugly90sclothes
hipsterjuggalo Hipsters as Juggalos
dadsaretheoriginalhipster
fromme-toyou - Rich New Yorkers that shoot fashion photos, one of the originators of "Cinemagraphs" which are classy animated GIFs
unomoralez - Disturbed, sublime pixel art from a Russian master of MS Paint
pixelstyle - Examples of excellent pixel art from the 1980's-1990's.

My number-one tumblr lately is Mefi's own elizardbits, because she makes me laugh like crazy, but that's not what you asked for.
The artsy:
Things Organized Neatly.
Look at This Little Thing.
No.
That's My Dream House and Book Book Book for beautiful interiors.
Fuck Your Noguchi Coffee Table for when I get tired of the beautiful interiors.
Fuck Yeah Alphonse Mucha delighted me for a year or so but eventually got too repetitive. I switched my feed reader to Fuck Yeah Illustrative Art to broaden my horizons a bit.
Broader also (and NSFW and beautiful) is Just Be Honest For Now (previously on the blue).
