 1. View the page where the block is used. That will create the cron job that updates the data automatically in the future.
 1. Run `wp cron event run prime_event_filters` to test the filtering. Look at each title, and add any false positives to `$false_positives` in `filter_potential_events()`. If any events that should be included were ignored, add a keyword from the title to `$keywords`. Run the command after those changes and make sure it's correct now.
