add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', function () {
    // Block names to remove.
    $blocks = array( 'core/verse', 'core/pullquote' );

    wp_add_inline_script(
        'wp-edit-post',
        'wp.domReady(function(){' . wp_json_encode( $blocks ) . '.forEach(function(name){if(wp.blocks.getBlockType(name)){wp.blocks.unregisterBlockType(name);}});});'
